ASSIGNORS TO UNDERWOOD TYPEWRITER COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N; Y., A CORPORATION F NEW JERSEY.

T 0 all whom it may Conf-em.

Be it known that We, HERMANN V. FEN- GLER, a citizen of the United4 States, residing Y in Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and

State of Penns}'l\-'ania, and VICTOR B. RoUIL- Lor, a citizen of the United States, residing vin Mays Landing, county of Atlantic, and State of Newv Jersey, have Invented certain new and v useful Improvements in Typethe operator, by simply actuating a key ory finger-piece, can effect the imprint of a dotted line, a continuous line or the continued repetitiin of a character or. letter, as x vfor example. `The type is brought to the printing point, and atI the same time releases :the carriage to permit it to travel While the type is continuously or repeatedly printing.

To pri t. aA dotted line, the type is mechanicallyyibrated repeatedlyto and from the printing point. The type carrier is con-- trolled by a special key, which throws the.

type bar to printing position, effectsthe release of the power driven carriage, andcauses the carriage to .actuate the type-bar vibrative Inechanisiy The ribbon is fed during the time the type is at the printing point, yto prevent puncture or tearing of the ribbon and to permit clear impressions being made.

The improvements are slioivn applied to the Underwood style of yfront strike type- Wriring machine. There-is provided a bipartite 'type carrier, its parts yieldingly connected, one part or arm being connected to and operated by a key in the usual manner. The remaining part constitutes the type bar proper, having the type on its free end. The type bar part oi section is provided with an actuating tongue, which. when the type carrier is thrown to printing` position, is engaged by the teeth of a star or cam Wheel, the latter actuated by the carriage, by means of a rack thereon, meshing with a pinion that is connected to the star Wheel.- Said rack is normally idle, but is thrown into Working position by said key.

Wheel intermittently forces the type' bar aivayfrom the printing point, against the tension of a spring so that when the tongue slips off the point of one of the teeth, the spring swings the type bar toward the paper to print again. In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical cross' sectional View through the Underwood type of 'front strike machine illustrating one embodiment of our invention, the parts being in normal inactive po- F ig. 2 is a fragmentary frontl View,

3 is a perspective detail View of the vibrating mechanism.` Fig. 4 is a perspective detail 'View showing the type-carrier in printing position engaged 'with the vibrating mechanism just prior to the imprint ofthe type. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail perspective view o f the star Wheel and type caryrier, illustrating the position of the carrier parts at the moment ofv making an impression. Fig. 6 is a detail View illustrating a preferred type on the type bar.

A indicates the frame of the Underwood type of front strike machine, l being a rail on which slides the carriage 2, carrying a slaten 3.' The carriage is driven by means 'of ay spring barrel Oconnected through a belt 5l to the carriage. Arms 4a 'pivoted atl l to the carriage carry a letter-spacing rack 5 normally engaged by an escapeiiienvt, indicated at (i, and releasably held in such engagement by a spring 7 extending betiveen a release key 8 and a stationary point onv the carriage. A ,tabular stop-supporting frame, a fragment of which is indicated at 9, is mounted upon a shaft l0 pivoted in the frame, the shaft haring a finger 1l to actuate a lever 12 carrying a rclllB engagingthe letter space rack 5 to release the latter from the escapement. is rocked to efectfsuch disengagement by a key-controlled lever 9.2 connected by a ling l5 to the shaft. A. ribbon 16 is ivcund r)The shaft 1Q;

'Patented Nev. 25, 1913.

spools 17 on spool shafts 18, driven by ab.

shaft 19, carrying a ratchet 20 engaged by a detent 2l. A linger piece or key 23 forms one of the keys of vthe keyboard, and is designed to operate printing devices and Carriage-releasing and 'related devices. The key 28 is carried' by the usual spring-activ ated pivotallyemounted key lever 24. a subconnecting the hey lever 25 pivoted' atA with van arm Q8 to which the Sub-lever is connected, and a type har 29, pivotally secured to the arm at 30, and held yieldingly against a stop 3l on the arm, by a spring 32 carried by the arm and engaging the type bar which carries the type 33.

Preferably the type consists -ot the period, and the hyphen or underscore, as shown in Fig. 6, butother characters or let-ters might be :substituted therefor.

The type har 29 has an actuating tongue 34, extending through an aperture 35 in the segment, to be engaged by the teeth ot a dished star or cam wheel 36 supported on a shaft .37 l'journaled in the traine, which shaft also carries a pinion 38, which rotates the star wheel to bring its teeth suc-l cessively into engagement with the tongue, to crowd or shoulder the tongue and type bar outwardly against the tension of the spring 32. By crowding the type bar outwardly in this manner, the type is carried away 'from the paper; against which, however, it is again thrown by the spring 32 as soon as the tongue slips off the point or crown ot one ot' the teeth on the' revolving star wheel.

lt will be eeen that the star Wheel serves temporarily as power-driven carriage, and that the tongue Se is an escapement pallet, whereby the carriage is permitted to feed a step at. a time, eo that the impressions made by the type appear in regular succession upon the paper. ln this manner, the type is repeatedly oe( lated from and toward the paper after its tiret imprint caused by the actuation ot'the ley 23, eo, that a dotted or a dash line is termed.

To revolre the star wheel and pinion, a rack 39 attached to the carriage preferably to the swinging arms la, whereby, when the lettciespacing rack 5 is'released from its` cscapement` 'the vibrator rack 39 bythe saine action, is thrown into mesh with its pinion soon as the carriage is released from its escapeinent, it is tree to travel under the impetus; of its spring drive. and by the engagement et the ".ibrator rack 39 with the pinionf, the latter, together with the star wheel. is rotated to vibrate the type bar.

Theee .movements oi' the racha are effected l( `el-O, oven b v the hey 223. which has a. l. hanging the carriagorcleasing lever so that a depression ot the l-:Ley to throw the type carrier to prinli pfwil'ion. will supported in the 'improvements may an escapement Wheel for they which releases the letter-Spacing rack, and engages the vibrator rack 39 with the pin-- lion 3S.

The ribbon feed may comprise a suitably ournaled levery 4l, one end et which passes through an inclined slot 42 in a guide plate and lis operatively connected with, or formed into, a. pawl 44 conveniently engag ing the ratchet wheel 20 on the ribbon drive Shaft 19, the inclined slot permitting the pawl to follow the ratchet throughout its Stroke. The opposite end -of the lever is AJformed into,` or has secured thereto, a tap pet l5 normally received ina recess i5 in 4the arm 2S when the type carrier is in printing position, such recess being at. least partially covered or overlapped by the type bar 29 when the latter is in normal position against the Stop 3l. spring 47 tends to project the tappet- 45 into the recess in the arm, which recess is uncovered or opened each time, a tooth on the Star Wheel tore-es the type bar 29 out-ward away from the paper and relativeto the arm 28. Wrhen the type bar is returned toward the paper by the action of its Spring 3Q, it engagea: the tappet and forces the latter out of the recess 46 against the tension ot ap l?, thereby actuating the lever 4l. to can@kl the pawl 44 to feed the drive shattlstep by 95 to lzeep the ribbonv moving across the line olil travel of the type. 4
